Hello!
We are given the weight of Mia's dog and told to find the weight of Lettie's dog based on the known relationship. Using these given values, we can create the following equation (let "w" represent the total weight of Lettie's dog):
w = 32.6(3.8)
Simplify the right side of the equation:
w = 123.88
We have now proven that Lettie's dog weighs 123.88 lbs.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
x = -122/13 OR 9.3846
Step-by-step explanation:
First, take a look at the second equation. Add 8x to the other side.
-7y= 8x -18
Then, divide by -7 to get a regular "y=" equation.
y= 8/7x -18/7
Move on the the first equation. Let's get "y" by itself. Add 3x to the other side.
y= 3x +15
Considering both equations are equal to Y, set them equal ( except the "y" part )
8/7x - 18/7 = 3x + 15
Multiply all by seven so that there are no fractions.
8x - 18 = 21x + 105
Subtract 8x from both sides.
-17 = 13x + 105
Subtract 105 from both sides.
-122 = 13x
Divide by 13 on both sides.
x = 9.3846
Or if you don't want decimals, just say x = -122/13
Quick Note: I made a mistake. I had looked at the second equation at -18. The answer is incorrect but the method of solving is correct. Also, make sure to plug in the value of x to get Y.
